obama has hands-off. he's traveling throughout asia. the united states' voice here has been largely silent. i think part of that is purposeful, and i think part of that is leading from behind some of the strategies the united states has tried to pioneer over the past couple of years, and also i think it's a realization that the united states might not have as much leverage in the region or countries around the region it had a couple of years before the arab spring. >> isn't there great leverage with egypt, you have senator graham and others sends out a warning that money is tied to the progress that egypt tries to facilitate here? >> yes, i think that it is still a declared treaty nation. there's a great deal of aid, and at the same time morsi is clear for lack of a better phrase he refuses to be the united states lapd lapdog. he has much more afin knit in the hamas mission than mubarak did, who saw hamas as a threat to his own rule. to say moem hamed morsecy will do whatever the united states says because aid is tied to it is naive. >>
